I would like you all to meet my little boy Rory. Rory was born on the 21st of December, weighing 7lbs 9oz. 

Thank you so much for all of our lovely gifts. I was totally overwhelmed with all of the beautiful gifts that we received.

Rory can’t wait to come and meet you all 💙

P3a.2 have been busy budgeting a trip to Lapland this week! Today we worked in groups to split the £700 budget up to allow us to plan all the different parts of the trip. We found this tricky at first but we were able to adjust how much money we allocated to each part of the trip when we started planning.

I enjoyed  choosing the activities for the trip. It was hard not to overspend because we thought all the activities looked great but we didn’t have enough money for that – Harry C

I enjoyed working out the budget with my group because we worked well together as we all listened – Alfie

I liked choosing the flights and writing down why my partner and I picked the flight we did. We choose EasyJet flight because we thought the flight times were the best. – Ami

 

For writing this week we wrote an apology letter for the Town People from Edgar the dragon from the John Lewis advert.

P3a.1 and P3a.2 then came together and assessed work from the other class. We worked very hard to ensure that we gave our partner valuable feedback which explained what had went well and what our partner could work on next time.

Well done P3a!

This afternoon P3a.2 held our Open Classroom. We were very lucky to have lots of visitors into our class this afternoon to help us with our task. We started our new Budgeting topic which is to plan a trip to Lapland. We started off by considering what we will need to plan and how much money we think it will cost. Thank you for all your help this afternoon, we hope you enjoyed visiting our class.

This is our last week using the homework grid. This is also the last sound of our block (th as in father) . Please send homework jotters in by Friday to allow us to update and prepare the next block.

We have been learning lots of new dramatic techniques over the past few weeks.  We enjoyed using Hot Seating to explore characters from the book ‘The Night the Stars Went Out”. We also learned about Thought Tracking and Mime. Keep up the hard work 😄

 

 

 

This morning in P3 some of our parents came in to play with our new Read, Write, Count bags. We had lots of fun investigating our bags and enjoyed playing some of our new games. 

My favourite part was playing with all of the mums and dads – Molly

My favourite part was playing with the playdoh and making our new common words – Harry M

I enjoyed reading with my Mummy – Aadya

My favourite part was playing with the dice – Daniel 

Thank you very much for coming!

 

This morning in P3A.2 we have been comparing our local skyline in Newton Mearns with the skyline in Glasgow City Centre. We created some amazing artwork showing our comparisons.

 

We have been working very hard on our Maths in Primary 3. Some of us have been working on estimating, rounding, finding halves, finding quarters and hundreds tens and units. Keep up the hard work p3!
